Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

The key to a number of these amendments is that they are already covered by significant parts of the legislation and by activity that has already been undertaken by an t-údarás. Many of these amendments are doubling up on areas that are provided for within the legislation and on work that an t-údarás is already doing. As already outlined by me, significant contributions were made in the Dáil, particularly around some of the environmental issues and Deputy Ó Cathasaigh was mentioned in that context. I am quite happy about the objectives that are set out within the legislation and I believe much of what is raised in the amendments is already covered by what is in the Bill as it stands.
